			I've really reduced my games from previous years.  I found myself trying to do too much.... 
 
Full-time job; family; keeping up with household chores; umpiring college; high school; spring ASA; summer ASA; fall ASA....WOW, I hadn't gone fishing or camping this year.  What happened? 
 
So, the guidelines I set for myself 2 years ago: 
 
1.  Spring NCAA tourney (I take a week of vacation to work 15 games in 5 days to get ready for the season) 
 
2.  College - 2 DH a month (2 1/2 month season) 
 
3.  High School - 3 games per week 
 
4.  Spring ASA....no games until HS season is over 
 
5.  Summer ASA....3 weekends in June & July (limit to one day unless a very high level Tourney) 
 
6.  Fall ASA....no games 
 
With this my yard still looks good and I get my canoe out on a regular basis on the local lakes & rivers for some fishing.
